What router is everyone using?
I’ve got You8000, I bought the ASUS ZenWifi BQ16 Pro, leagues better for consistency on mobile devices. I mostly use my PC to fully saturate 8000 obviously.

Orbi 970 sucks, what to move to?
I switched to Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro after having many, many issues with iOT devices and disconnects, especially when switching between satellites on the 770 system. I have no issues now. It’s about time same price as the 970 series and I appreciate the free parental controls and VPN, which both requ

Townhouse Network: 10G Backbone, Wi-Fi 7 Mesh, and too many Thermal Cameras
That definitely would have been the cleaner route, but this network actually evolved completely in reverse! I started out just wanting a high-end Wi-Fi 7 mesh for an easy setup, which is why I bought the ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro system. However, I quickly realized that 6GHz signals don't stand a chance

MLO (Multi-Link Operation)
I don't use Toob's routers. I do have a pair of (expensive) Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro routers in mesh configuration and MLO does provide a significant performance improvement when connecting the two nodes (in different rooms). Creating a MLO WiFi network adds a small improvement when connecting my phone

eero - Max 7 Tri-band Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System or NETGEAR - Orbi 970 Series BE27000 Quad-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System ?
I think it depends how much control you want. If plug and play go with eero. I personally don't like how its controlled by Amazon. I went with Asus Zenwifi bq16 pro. Its a beast and costs less than others. Gives you lots of control but you will have to tinker the settings to make sure its stable wit

My Netgear Orbi Router and Extenders are no longer supported - Now What?
I find Ubiquiti confusing compared to Netgear mesh or Asus Mesh systems, but then Ubiquiti always seems confusing. I was looking at getting a Ubiquiti UDR7, but can you add any type of mesh network to it. Currently use an Asus BQ16 Pro mesh system, which works great and at my Dad’s house he has an O

Recommendation for a new mesh WiFi 7 system?
I replaced it with the ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro system a few months ago and it’s been way more stable for me. My place is a little smaller than yours but still multi level, and I’m running it wirelessly between nodes too.
